In reply to: [XV Random Quotes] Update from v1.40 to v2.0.1 killed my Quotes widgetA final note: I encountered several other issues which I brought to the attention of @xavivars via mail to keep this support thread uncluttered.
Xavi was very responsive and fixed all issues one by one, so as of v2.30, the plugin runs like a charm again and is better than it had ever been before.
So the bottom line is that this useful plugin is under active development and you may use it without any concerns. 6 out of 5 stars from me! 😉

In reply to: [XV Random Quotes] Update from v1.40 to v2.0.1 killed my Quotes widgetI just sent you an SQL dump of my quotes table via mail as requested. Please note that there are 705 quotes in total with the most recent ID number being 733 since some numbers seem to have been skipped for unknown reasons…
Thanks for caring!

In reply to: [XV Random Quotes] Update from v1.40 to v2.0.1 killed my Quotes widgetHi Xavi,
thank you for adressing the issue so quickly and with dedication, I very much appreciate it!
However, even v2.0.6 doesn’t work fo rme:
The widget is now present, I can add it to the sidebar and configure it, however no quotes/HTML-snippets are shown since the database is empty (“No quotes found”).
Upon clicking on Quotes in the main menu, I get the message:
XV Random Quotes Migration Required
XV Random Quotes needs to migrate 705 quotes to the new system.But when I click on the “Start Migration” button, nothing happens. The migration feature doesn’t work in my installations.
So I had to roll back once more to v1.40…
Looking forward for another try, I wish you all the best for the upcomoing new year!
Oops, you caught me!
The Ajax Event Calendar plugin (AEC) is no longer supported, so I was trying to substitute it with My Calendar – AEM. I removed the the AEC shortcode from my test page but I forgot to deactivate the plugin!
Sorry for bothering you, please accept my apologies…

In reply to: [Responsive TwentyTen] Header Images are not scaled downThank you very much indeed for providing a perfect solution out of the blue! 🙂
I updated the plugin (studying the magic you implemented in style.css) and after clearing the browser cache, all of my three websites listed above now work perfectly with complete header images on all kind of devices. Horray!
BTW, I intentionally do not use the Gutenberg editor, so compatibility problems are no issue for me.
You might notice that I myself changed the font family used in the theme to sans-serif.
All of this together means that TwentyTen still is a decent looking theme that does not look outdated at all!
Thanks again and best wishes,

In reply to: [Crop-Thumbnails] Cropping no longer working / possible explanationThank you for replying quickly, I really appreciate it.
I rolled back to v1.8.0 in five affected WordPress installations. Et voila, “crop thumbnails” is working again perfectly in all instances!
Thank you for providing this temporary solution, I’m sure that you’ll find and fix the issue somewhen soon… 😉
Yours,
RalphSince the developer doesn’t even answer questions concerning critical problems (see my posting about severe PHP 8 compatibility issues whis is two weeks old now), this plugins is to be considered abandoned. Which is a pity considering that there are no real alternatives around.
That being said, we don’t know the reasons and so we shouldn’t blame the author who may have a hard time right now outside of the WordPress virtual world…
Cheers,
RalphThanks for the quick reply! I’m using the latest version 3.3.35 and I was very happy with all previous versions of Sassy Social Share which didn’t have the problem.
I tested several of my sites with several browsers (Vivaldi and MS Edge on PC, Samsung Internet on my Android tablet) and I could reproduce the issue in all cases.
Will send an email to your support as requested.
Thanks again,

Hi Bryle, thank you for getting in touch with me!
I didn’t consider the other plugins to be relevant in this case since I use the same set of plugins in several installations that behaved differently nevertheless. However, I followed your advice and was surprised to see that the following procedure worked for me and solved the problem:
1) Disable all active plugins.
2) Enable (only) the UpdraftPlus plugin.
3) Go to the dashboard and dismiss the UpdraftPlus installation message.
4) Refresh the dashboard page to verify that the message is really gone now! 🙂
5) Enable all other plugins again.
6) Go back to the dashboard to see that the Updraft message doesn’t show up anymore!So funnily enough, there was no permanent plugin conflict. The sequence of activating them (UpdraftPlus first) made the difference.
I hope this helps other user to solve the problem should they encounter it.
Thanks again,
RalphAddendum: When using WP Permission Manager instead of Members, you may keep your Members localization files under their original names. They will continue to work since WP Permission Manager is actually a fork of Members (without the added bloatware stuff). Great!

I switched over to WP Permission Manager:
This plugin is forked from the last release of the popular justintadlock/members plugin, before it’s codebase was hijacked and turned into a sales pitch for a premium plugin by it’s new maintainers.

My recommendation: Follow me!
+1 The message keeps appearing, which is most annoying indeed and a reason to look for a more decent alternative. Any suggestions?
Karin, just create a blank text file with any editor, paste the plugin code into it and save it in a file named “wptouch-sidebar-support.php” in your wp-contents/plugins directory (where all other plugins are located as well). Yes, you may create a special folder named “wptouch-sidebar-support” for it for aesthetic reasons, but it will also work without a separate folder. The names I suggested are examples, the plugin php file will work with any name you prefer to give it…
Yours,
